Les and the board know that unless they bring in someone who has near unanimous fan approval then things could get even nastier for them. Ainsworth seems the most logical choice but understandabley he would want a long term contract.

If it wasnt for their inexperience then either Shaun Derry or Clint Hill might be options, individually or as a pairing. The point about Holloway being upset with how he was treated previously is very valid but he's currently unemployed and apart from us I doubt he'd get offered another Championship job.

At the moment the whole club needs a boost and soon.

i reckon its between nathan jones and chris wilder
probably both already been sounded out about the job
problem is both would want long term contracts
wilder would want a transfer budget next season
jones knows hows to work on a shoestring as he did at luton
the players need some fire in their bellies and nathan jones would makes sure they have that
loftus road needs a lift,we want a home win and we want one sooner rather than later

Holloway is a nice idea to fire the players up, but as others have said he's angry at our owners for how he left last time.

Can't see him belittling himself to take a 3 month contract.

I think this is now a tricky situation because who is out there willing to take a job for 3 months (like a Warnock)??

And if they go for a long term appointment they could be left with another big pay off if things don't work out.

Tricky one for Ollie, as I am sure his heart says 'Yes' and his head says 'Not again!'. Others mentioned, such as Wilder, Ainsworth and Jones, will demand a lengthy contract to come in now - not a contract until the end of the season. So, sadly we are still going to be paying for Beale's flight north.

I'd take Jones. He's marmite but I think you love him once he's yours. Warnock is like that - nobody could stand him at other clubs but then he's fantastic at your club. I admit I couldn't stand Jones at Luton, but I think if he comes in and get results his passion will create a better atmosphere too - let's face it Loftus Road has been quite flat for a while.

I said it elsewhere but we need somebody who will fire the players up. Jones should do that.

Also look at the job he did at Luton - constantly top 6 and punching above their weight on a restricted budget.

i agree northwest he would give our players the kick up the backside they have been due the last couple of months
we should be hard to beat not a roll over like we have been recently
warnock,ferguson,clough hardly anyone likes or liked them but they got you results
critchley was too nice and polite to the players and everyone around him

Unless he turns it down I think they will go for Ainsworth, seems the obvious choice.
For all the talk of style of play we just hired a manager who tried to play 4-4-2 so I don't think Wycombe being a direct side matters too much.
I've always liked Wilder but think he might have his eyes on a bigger job, he spent most of his time at Boro looking for other jobs similar to Beale

Yes that mirrors my thoughts daveb: Try for Ainsworth first and, if that fails, go for Wilder. I have to say that Ainsworth is in a tricky position because Wycombe is the club he has grown up with as a manager, whilst coming to QPR and being expected to turn around our fortunes quickly is a bit of a poisoned chalice....

Despite all the doom and gloom it's a hell of an opportunity though, this squad is far better than they have shown in the last few months, it would probably only take 3/4 wins to be safe and looking back up the table

Ainsworth surely now has more of a love and affiliation with Wycombe than QPR so I don't see why he'd leave a job for life to come here and risk it all.

He could come here and be gone again by the summer.

I wouldn't mind him - he fits the bill for bringing passion and some character and getting fans back on side - but I'm not convinced he'd jump at the chance to come here right now.

#QPR have made their approach for Wycombe manager Gareth Ainsworth and are now in talks. Compensation is already agreed and it's now Ainsworth's decision on whether to leave Wycombe after 11 years in charge

Simply can not believe anyone would want Jones and I completely disagree that he is comparable to Warnock

NW can definitely be annoying but he's not a complete tool like Jones.

Frankly whoever gets the job, what we really need is a new team above the manager to start running the club like Brentford or Luton
